august 4, 1993, arlington stadium, arlington, texas. nolan ryan, 46 years old at the time, finishing up his final big league season. he hits robin ventura of the chicago white sox as a pitch. he takes exception to it, charges the mound, gets snared in a head lock and then ryan pounds the knot osnot out of mi did i mention nolan ryan was two decades older than ventura. that is not the 20th anniversary that i want to talk about today. the other 20th anniversary that's coming up this week is the 20th anniversary of this. it was bill clinton signing what was called the omnibus budget reconciliation act of 1993. this was clinton's first budget at president. it had taken months to get it through congress. it was hugely unpopular. and it ended up having massive far-reaching implications that no one expected at the time. implications that in many ways still shape and define politics today. implications that some people, many republicans in particular, have never fully grappled with. this was the budget. clinton's 1993 budget that played a big r

laws and trying to reverse what's happened in texas and looking to north carolina. i think if you look at michelle obama made this comment about hadiya pendleton is me and i was her. this is a young girl shot in chicago earlier this year and michelle obama -- a black woman. and michelle obama personalized it. it's not a huge shift but they are more willing to engage on these kinds of issues about culture, about race, and also about income inequality. obama was this community organizer. that sort of animated his career early on but the first term was very bch the economy and the middle class versus now he sounds much more liberal in terms of talking about the problem of income inequality. he said if we have more income inequality it can hurt race relations in the country, which is a bold statement and something i think he would not have said in 2011. >> is that something do you attribute it to the idea of the first term president who has to run for re-election and is just thinking of playing it a lot safer and the second term president is more emboldened and liberate
